Step 5 · Install Valve and Supply Line Shields
First, take the trimmed covers for the angle stop valves. Wrap one around the hot water valve and the other around the cold water valve, securing them with their hook-and-loop fasteners. Next, take the trimmed shields for the supply lines. Wrap one around the hot water supply line and the other around the cold water supply line, ensuring they cover the lines from the top of the valve cover all the way to the connection at the base of the faucet. Press the fasteners together securely. The goal is to create a continuous, insulated barrier with no exposed pipe or sharp connection points.
